The act of “peacekeeping” really began after World War II, when the United Nations was founded. Peacekeeping which is the “use of neutral personnel in post-conflict areas to implement agreements between ex-combatants” (as defined by the UN) was never really used before World War II. It is currently implemented in many areas of the world such as the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia. Since 1948 there have been 54 UN peacekeeping operation, and 41 of those have been in the last 12 years. 89 countries across the world are currently providing peacekeepers. The technique of peacekeeping came about purely in emerging crises. Widely known operations of peacekeeping occurred and are occurring in Iraq, Afghanistan, parts of Africa, and the Pakistani-Indian conflict. Conflict is indicated by the people’s security (physical, economical or political), political, economical, social, cultural, military, geopolitical and judicial issues.In order to prevent a conflict, it is necessary to address the hostile mistrust before violence breaks out. Hence in general the goal of this system is to create a situation where differences and conflicts can be addressed in a non-violent and constructive manner. Conflict prevention has been used in many situations and a good example of it was in 2004, when strong criticism from the media, NGOs and human right groups, urged the US and the UN government to begin taking steps towards the Sudanese government to stop the genocide in Darfur. Further more the act of preventing a conflict is not a single step but an ongoing process, which always changes due to certain circumstances. And in the ideal it should strengthen existing peace processes, respond to crises, and create a process through which conflict is resolved non-violently. Finally this method requires certain collaboration between international, national, regional and sub-regional groups. However if a conflict breaks out or is not solved by this technique, the international community uses the process of peacekeeping.
